Bill Summary
A BILL To provide health insurance benefits for outpatient and inpa- tient items and services related to the diagnosis and treatment of a craniofacial, oral, or maxillofacial con- genital anomaly or birth defect.
AI Summary
This bill, the Ensuring Lasting Smiles Act, would require group health plans and health insurance issuers to provide coverage for outpatient and inpatient items and services related to the diagnosis and treatment of craniofacial, oral, or maxillofacial congenital anomalies or birth defects. This includes any medically necessary procedures to functionally improve, repair, or restore any body part to achieve normal function or appearance, as determined by the treating physician. The coverage may be subject to certain limits and cost-sharing requirements, but cannot be more restrictive than those applied to other medical and surgical benefits. The bill also requires plans and issuers to provide enrollees with a written description of the coverage provisions.
